Dr. West is an internist who runs a small concierge primary care practice in Fairfax with a strong focus on women's health. Members get unlimited unrushed visits and can reach her directly by cell phone or text, with telehealth visits when appropriate. Her menopause and perimenopause care is only offered to members, not as a one-off consultation. She is a certified clinical densitometrist who has read thousands of bone density scans, and she once directed the Inova Women's Comprehensive Health Center. The practice has paused new members and even its waitlist for now, but you can sign up for updates on when it reopens.
A nurse-practitioner-owned primary care and wellness practice in Fairfax, founded in 2012, with a second nurse practitioner and a small clinical team. Hormone care is aimed at midlife women from perimenopause through menopause and begins with testing, in-office blood work plus saliva or urine panels, before a plan that may combine nutrition, lifestyle work, herbal remedies, bioidentical topicals or hormone pellets. It sits inside a full primary care and women's health practice covering gynecological exams, contraception, urinary incontinence, thyroid disease and medical weight management, with visits in person or by video.
